You watched "The Hunger Games" and sided with the resistance.

You watched "Star Wars" and sided with the resistance.

You watched "The Matrix" and sided with the resistance.

You watched "Divergent" and sided with the resistance.

You watched "V for Vendetta" and sided with the resistance.

When it's fiction you understand. Yet you refuse to see it when it's the reality you're living in.

What we have been growing on the Southside of OKC has been a monumental labor of love to get more of our community engaged in the political process. Honored to be working alongside @repalonso towards that goal!

@mynameisJabee Wow, I’m sorry that this happened to you. This person is clearly in need of mental health services.

@42jwallen Happy Birthday!

On this day 82 years ago, on February 19, 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in the height of insanity of racism after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, signed Executive Order 9066.

It ordered all Japanese Americans on the West Coast to be summarily rounded up and imprisoned within 10 barbed wire prison camps, with no charges, no trial, no due process.

One day, a few months later, we saw two soldiers marching up our driveway, carrying rifles with shiny bayonets on them. They stopped up the porch right in front of our window and banged on the front door. My father answered, and one of the soldiers pointed the rifle at him, right in front of us, and ordered us out of our home. I had just turned five in April; it was May when they came to take us away.

My father gave my brother Henry and me two heavy suitcases. And we brought them out onto the driveway and waited for our mother to come out. When she did, she had our baby sister in one arm, a huge duffel bag in the other, and tears were streaming down her cheeks.

That is one morning that is seared into my memory. I will never be able to forget all the innocent people, my family included, who had nothing to do with Pearl Harbor, most of who were law abiding U.S. citizens, who were suddenly categorized as ‘enemy aliens.’

Today, I hear terrifying words from political leaders today that once more raise the specter of what happened before, right here in America.

Donald Trump and his allies are talking about rounding up 11 million people and putting them into mass detention camps before deporting them.

There won’t be time for due process, to sort out who is documented and who is not. Homes will be lost. Businesses, too. Families will be torn apart. Lives will be ruined, over fear and ignorance, all to serve the ambitions and agendas of politicians.

I know, because I lived through it.

I say, never again. Not while I have one ounce of fight still left in me.

Join me. Fight this madness. Help keep America from repeating the mistakes of its past.

Don't get this twisted. NO ONE is against School Choice!

School Choice: The freedom to choose how your child is educated: public school, home school, or private pay school.

School Subsidy: This is the "students not systems" gang - siphons off public education funding. #OklaEd

Cherry blossom season

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

I’ve been deeply disturbed by the recent spike in anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, and anti-Palestinian harassment in schools. And we’ve been tragically reminded how hatred can all too easily turn into violence.

Hate has no place in our nation’s classrooms or on our college campuses.

The CEO-to-worker pay gap at America’s largest companies was 344-to-1 last year. In 1965, the ratio was 20-to-1.

This explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of workers isn’t because CEOs have become so much more valuable.

They've just gamed the system to line their pockets.

Here are the slides from the Metro Wide Town Hall Concerning the Oklahoma County Jail Location last night. I think you’ll be able to understand why we are concerned about the size of land they’re looking for and why we think it should stay downtown. 1/2

If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

#OklaEd kids deserve better.

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

Those who demonize diversity have no idea what it means.
Diversity means fighting for the opportunity of ALL students, and I can’t believe I have to say this, but that is something we should all support.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

If we’ve learned anything these past few years, it's that:

1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires
2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers
3) Poverty is a policy choice
4) Health care is a human right
5) Strikes work

Let's keep fighting for a better world.

@jamidcole I’m so sorry 😞

If the history you study only makes you proud, it’s not history. It’s propaganda.

Don’t let them Prager You.

[Rep. Jacob Rosecrants ☀️ @jacobrosecrants]

It’s just so quizzical to me how some folk are screaming InDoCtRiNaTiOn while totally supporting actual dictionary-definition indoctrination. Yeah I’m lookin at you, Prager U supporters! 🤷‍♂️

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

Over the last year, 4 million students have had their reading censored through book bans—with the majority of book bans censoring stories of people of color or LGBTQI+ Americans.
Reading increases tolerance and we owe it to our students and our future to stop banning books.
